‘Arrogant David Cameron believes he has won the election’

Nick Clegg has accused
David Cameron of âbreathtaking arroganceâ after the Conservative leader announced how he planned to govern Britain.

David Cameron ‘hasn’t one the election yet’

Speaking on the campaign trail in south-east London, the Liberal Democrat leader hit back, by saying Mr Cameron had not won the election yet.

âDavid Cameron, with breathtaking arrogance, is already measuring up the curtains for No.10 before you have even voted,â Mr Clegg said.

âTelling you what heâs going to do with Britain, when itâs not for him to tell you what to do with this country.’

âItâs for you to tell us, the politicians, what kind of future you want.’

âI have a simple message for David Cameron: in this country you donât inherit power, you have to earn it.â

Mr Cameron told BBC1âs Andrew Marr show he âaspiredâ to lead a government of âquiet effectivenessâ.

His comments came after it was alleged some cabinet members want Labour to cling on to power, even if it came third in the popular vote, by forming a coalition with the Lib Dems.

Accusing Labour of letting down the country, Mr Cameron said that under Gordon Brownâs leadership the government had âdestroyed civil liberties on an industrial scaleâ and introduced a âgrotesquely unfairâ tax system.

He also denied complacency and denounced the current political system as a âstitch-up between two old vested interestsâ.

Mr Cameron is planning to campaign through the night tonight and only go to sleep once election offices close.

âThere is still a huge amount to do. There has never been an ounce of complacency in my body,â he added.

Meanwhile, some high profile figures have nailed their colours to the mast.
